Reliever Sid Monge hurled one-hit ball for 6 2/3 innings, enabling the Indians to come from behind and beat the Yankees, 5-4, in 10 innings. Rick Manning was the offensive star for the Tribe, driving in a pair of runs with a single in the fourth frame, scoring the tying run in the seventh and driving home the winning tally in the 10th.

With two out in the overtime frame, Paul Dade slapped a triple to the right field fence and Manning followed with a single to right. [The Sporting News]
